I need to premise this entry by stating that by sharing this story, I'm not stating my opinion, in one way or another about teenage pregnancy. I was just disturbed by this conversation but at the same time, it was one of the most hilarious things.
I was teaching a lesson on sleep related idioms. The idiom night owl came up. It was defined and one the senior girls in the class (whose disability is Speech/Language Impairment), happened to be about 4-5 months pregnant, chimed in, and the conversation went something like this:
Student: Oh I'm a night owl!
Me: You are?
Student: Yeah, I stay up until about 3am with my friends just hanging outside in my neighborhood.
Me: Um, you shouldn't do that, you're pregnant, you should probably get as much as rest as you possibly can right now.
Student: nah, I'll get some rest when the baby comes.
I literally laughed out loud! Sorry, no you're not.
I truly hope that mom and if baby has arrived, are doing well.
